One of our greyhounds has suffered for years with anxiety - thunder drove her into fits. For three years we have had her on anxiety medication and it still did not stop her shivering fits over thunder and fireworks. Then we did an consultation with a pet therapyst and she suggested we try this product. It has had amazing results!!!!! Our dog is now off the expensive sedatives and is very calm and relaxed!!!! I highly recommend this product - I don't know where we would be without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Did the trick for our new dog, May 27, 2006

We recently adopted a German Shepherd after the death of our dog, "Bandit", from the same rescue organization from which we adopted Bandit. "Babe" was a much more nervous dog than Bandit due to the fact that she had spent the last two years outside and was having trouble adjusting to being inside all day. Plus, my husband and I are gone all day at work and have a long commute. I suggested that we try the canine version of this product that had worked so well for our cat, Calvin. Within hours of activating it, Babe began to calm down and stopped whining as much. She is no longer thrown into a panic when my husband leaves the house - she is very much daddy's girl! About four weeks after we first plugged the product in, I noticed that Babe had resumed her nervous whiny ways, pacing around anxiously. I noticed that the Comfort Zone needed refilling, and restocked it. Within hours, Babe was calm once again. Thus, I can gladly say this product does work well - both the feline and canine versions - and would recommend it to anyone who needs to calm and comfort their pet without the use of drugs.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAP Diffuser and Spray together with training, August 27, 2007

By 

Dr. J (WI, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Comfort Zone - refill - Canine Behavior Modification Plug-In with D.A.P. (Misc.)

My dog became frightened of loud noises in 2003 after a bad accident. I tried everything from drugs, therapy, and training but his anxiety kept climbing, to the point that he seriously hurt himself, because he was so disoriented. To top this off, after a storm or fireworks (anything really loud) he would continue to be stressed for DAYS and have chronic, uncontrolled diarrhea afterward.

In 2005, Doctors said there wasn't anything further that could be done and then I found the DAP program in Europe and ordered it. It came with the diffuser, spray, training book (just tells you how to use everything), and a training DVD (has lots of sounds and lights).

Now (2007 almost 2 years of usage), he can sit still/quite or lay down during most of the noise and small storms no longer bother him at all; heck, he even goes outside during them! After the big storms/fireworks/noises he is completely fine in about 10 minutes instead of days. When he gets excited with the loud cracks of thunder or the whistling fireworks, I give him the spray, which relieves him immediately; otherwise the diffuser is all he needs. He still doesn't like storms & fireworks and I still use a leash & sit with him (and train him). He still cries, whines and paces (for a few minutes) but NO LONGER become disoriented, shivers, pees, vomits or climb the walls. He is controllable and getting back to his old self again!

If you need help with your pet's anxiety, I highly recommend this product in combination with the spray, a leash and repetitive training It is somewhat new for the USA but, ask your doctor about it and make sure you work with your dog too. Refills sold at Amazon are the best price around that I've found.
